Overview

  • SAP has officially ended its 40% female workforce target and removed gender-diversity metrics from board remuneration criteria.
  • The company will no longer include the U.S. in its leadership gender quotas due to recent legal and political changes in the country.
  • SAP's Diversity & Inclusion Office will be merged with its Corporate Social Responsibility division, losing its standalone status.
  • These changes follow pressure from the Trump administration, which has pushed U.S.-connected entities to terminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
  • The move aligns with a broader trend, with companies like T-Mobile US also scaling back DEI initiatives under similar circumstances.
